Video: When shooting a documentary, the vast majority of what you film gets edited out of the final production. But instead of letting thousands of hours of breathtaking footage go to waste, the creators of Planet Earth II have re-purposed hundreds of breathtaking mountaintop shots into this 10-hour-long relaxation tool.

Video: You might think: Giraffe is a weak creature. Silly tongue, flimsy legs, small brain. If you were thinking this about Giraffe, you are wrong. In fact, Giraffe is strong. Giraffe is killing machine. Giraffe take down lion. No mercy from Giraffe.

A day and a half -- or less. That's how long there is until Amazon's new show The Grand Tour comes out, streaming on Amazon Prime. When do we get it in Australia? Not for at least another couple of weeks.

Two months -- or more. That's how long there is until the BBC's visually stunning Planet Earth II airs in Australia, on standard definition free-to-air TV.

I want to watch both these shows, a lot. But I can't. Unless I pirate them, or use a VPN.

The BBC's long-awaited Planet Earth II documentary series began airing in the UK over the weekend. It's the follow-up to the incredible original series, was filmed entirely in 4K, and is narrated by Sir David Attenborough. We finally know when and where you'll be able to watch Planet Earth II on Australian TV -- and you'll have to wait a while.

Yesterday was the first episode of Planet Earth II, hosted by universally beloved nonagenarian David Attenborough. The six-episode series was filmed in 40 countries over three years, and whatever it cost, it was worth every damn penny.

Video: While humans are terrible, animals are universally good. Let the trailer for the new Planet Earth II uplift you, usher you into the restfulness of the weekend, captivate your mind and turn your thoughts far away from the darkness of the human world to the beauty of the animal kingdom.

Video: In 2006, Planet Earth was the most expensive nature documentary series ever commissioned by the BBC. It was also the first to be filmed in high definition, and it's one of the things that made HD happen. Now, it's back, and Attenborough is back, for Planet Earth II.

Why Honolulu police can have illegal sex in the name of law enforcement, how one L.A. neighbourhood has chosen to destroy America, and who might actually be responsible for destroying the planet (spoiler: it's us). It's a rather depressing What's Ruining Our Cities!
